HKIFFIN, GEORGIA, D S. A.
Griffin is the best and most promising little
i ty in the th. Its record for the past
bait decade, its many new enterprises in oper¬
ation, building and contemplated, prove this
o le a business statement and not a liyper-
olical description.
Daring that time it has built and put into
most successful-operation a $100,000 cotton
actory and with this year started the wheels
of a second of more than twice that capital.
It has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
u fertilizer factory, an immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash uni blind factory a
broom factory, opened up the finest granite
quarry in the United States, and now has
our large oil mills in more or less advanced
stages of construction, with an aggregate au¬
thorised capitalof over half a million dollars.
It is putting up the finest system of electric
ghting that can be procured, and has ap¬
plied for two arters for street railways. It
has secured another railroad uinety miles long,
and while located on the greatest system in
the South, the Central, has secured connec¬
tion with its important rival, the East Ten¬
nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain-
d dire • t independent connection with Chat
t tnooga and the Wi st, d will break groun
n a few days for a fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and foureolored church
cl, it has recently completed a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased depop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruit growers from nearly
every State in the Union, until it is now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orchards
and vineyards. It has put up the largest
ruit evaporators in the State. It is the home
oi thegrape and its wine making capacity lias
doubled every year. It has successfully in
augnrated a system of public schools, with a
seven years curriculum, second to none.

surprised. The result in Iowa he at¬
tributes to the temperance issue and to

Mahone's
holds that whatever L Bttp-
port he i gave Mahone was not more than
he would ukl have have given given any any nominee of
the party. Mahone was in no sense

He attributes the result in Ohio to the
opposition principles of the the election voters on general
to of any man to
an office for a third term. He regards
it as a protest against a third term for
Foraker and aga ist the idea in general
of a third term. He does not feel that
the voters were passing a verdict upon
the national administration.

some time ago died under suspicious
circumstances, and whose body, at the

pois ison it must have been of an alcoholic
chai racter and self administered.
